Printer Pages Modernization Summary

Date: 2025-11-10 Status: COMPLETED

Overview

Modernized printer management pages to match the look and feel of machine/PC pages with Bootstrap theme, improved error handling, and consistent UI/UX.

Pages Reviewed

1. displayprinters.asp - Printer List Page

Status: Already Modern

Already using Bootstrap theme
Modern card layout
Responsive table
"Add Printer" button with icon
Location and attachment icons

2. displayprinter.asp - Individual Printer View

Status: Already Modern

Bootstrap theme with modern includes
Tabbed interface:
- Settings tab (view mode)
- Edit tab (inline edit form)
Profile card with printer image
Nested entity creation (vendor, model)
Clean, modern layout

3. editprinter.asp - Backend Processor

Status: Modernized (This Session) Changes Made:

Replaced old HTML/CSS with Bootstrap theme
Updated DOCTYPE to HTML5
Added modern includes (header.asp, sql.asp)
Improved error handling (redirects instead of inline HTML errors)
Added fallback page with Bootstrap styling
Kept all security features (parameterized queries, validation)

Changes Made to editprinter.asp

Before (Old Style):

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" type="text/css">

After (Modern):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <!--#include file="./includes/header.asp"-->
  <!--#include file="./includes/sql.asp"-->
</head>

Error Handling Improvements:

Before:

Response.Write("<div class='alert alert-danger'>Error: Invalid printer ID.</div>")
Response.Write("<a href='displayprinters.asp'>Go back</a>")

After:

Response.Redirect("displayprinters.asp?error=INVALID_PRINTER_ID")

All errors now redirect with error codes:

INVALID_PRINTER_ID
INVALID_MODEL_ID
INVALID_MACHINE_ID
FIELD_LENGTH_EXCEEDED
MODEL_REQUIRED
VENDOR_REQUIRED
MODEL_FIELD_LENGTH_EXCEEDED
VENDOR_NAME_REQUIRED
VENDOR_NAME_TOO_LONG
VENDOR_CREATE_FAILED
MODEL_CREATE_FAILED
UPDATE_FAILED

Success Handling:

Redirects to displayprinter.asp?printerid=X&success=1
Falls back to Bootstrap-styled redirect page if meta refresh fails

Security Features Preserved

All security features maintained:

Parameterized queries throughout
Input validation (numeric checks, length checks)
HTML encoding for all output
SQL injection prevention
XSS prevention
Nested entity creation (vendor → model → printer)

UI/UX Consistency

Common Elements Across All Pages:

Bootstrap 4 theme
Modern includes (header.asp, sql.asp)
Responsive design
Consistent icons (zmdi font)
Tabbed interfaces where appropriate
Card-based layouts
Loading spinner (pageloader-overlay)
Left sidebar navigation
Top bar header

- editprinter.asp - Complete modernization

Next Steps (Optional)

If further modernization is desired:

Network Devices Unified Page:
- Create single network_devices.asp for servers, switches, cameras
- Use existing vw_network_devices view
- Implement tabs for filtering by device type
Add Printer Page:
- Review addprinter.asp for modern styling
- Ensure consistency with machine/PC add pages
Printer API Pages:
- Review api_printers.asp for any needed updates
- Check printer_installer_map.asp for modernization
